So ... comments on the music

More or less in order, since I pulled the list from the website so I didn't forget anything

Riverfolk
They were delightful as usual. And I got the CD finally (yeah, it's been out two weeks) and it is wonderful. More on that later

The Great Luke Ski
I love the new songs (and it's great to hear new songs) and Carrie was wonderful. I am hoping though that the one mike thing was necessity not choice. It would be a much better show (and it was a great one) if you could both move around.

3 Pints Gone
With an expanded lineup even. With three people they sound like a dozen, with 5 they sound like an army. A great show

Adam Stemple & Elizabeth Hall
I became a fan of Adam's incindiary guitar playing last year, his solo CD was my fave thing I picked up through my journeys. Elizabeth is amazing. A gorgeous voice and a wicked sense of humor (that well matches Adam's) made for a blast of a show.

David Perry
a killer version of Dire Straights Tunnel Of Love

Janti
The find of the weekend for me. Bangladeshi/Hindustani/space rock/fusion. Amazing stuff.

The Nick Atoms
You guys just get better and better and tighter and tighter every time I see you. As ShoEboX might say ... you rocked like a rocking thing that rocks. Wyngarde talked to me briefly about the what would you like to do with me meme and I have some ideas too ... we'll talk after I get the next CD done

Misplaced
You guys have come so far. Your harmonies are amazing, your playing is great, your song choice is wonderful. I am really looking forward to seeing more of you. It was a great way to end the weekend and I am so glad I stayed.

Thanks a bunch! We're pretty darned excited to see where we're going to be after we play a season of the Renaissance Festival up here. We were very happy to have you in the audience.

Yeah... we're still a little jittery. That'll come with time, and being on more than just our second gig.

Overall, I'm flabbergasted at how far we've come as a group, since we really were able to start rehearsing in March.

Looking forward to seeing you up at MRF.

A couple of the guys from Janti played at the saturday night circle, i think after you went to bed. They were really great! They also said they had a great time and will be back next year. I'm looking forward to it!

So, where might one find this band when they're at home? Google brings up mainly Lisa Janti and Baha'i stuff.
